Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Dies At Age 79 Conservative Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who voted against Obamacare, same-sex gay marriage and said affirmative action sends black students to schools “too advanced” for them , has peacefully passed away at age 79 while in Texas for a visit. Scalia told friends he wasn’t feeling well Friday night before going to sleep and never waking up. Per CNN : U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a leading conservative voice on the high court, has died at the age of 79, a government source and a family friend told CNN on Saturday. Scalia died in his sleep during a visit to Texas. A government official said Scalia went to bed Friday night and told friends he wasn’t feeling well. He didn’t get up for breakfast on Saturday morning, and the group he was with for a hunting trip left without him. Someone at the ranch went in to check on him and found him unresponsive. The U.S. Marshals Service is helping to arrange for his body to be returned to his home in McLean, Virginia, an official told CNN, not to investigate his death. They were already present because marshals sometimes help supplement security for traveling justices. In a statement, Chief Justice John Roberts said he and other justices were saddened to hear of Scalia’s passing. “He was an extraordinary individual and jurist, admired and treasured by his colleagues,” Roberts said. “His passing is a great loss to the court and the country he so loyally served. We extend our deepest condolences to his wife Maureen and his family.” Now the issue is whether President Obama will nominate his replacement (in an election year), or swill he let the next president decide. Sources tell CNN he plans to nominate a replacement.

Ted Nugent Motown Black Man The little bit of mind rocker Ted Nugent had has just been lost. The conservative clown, who once called President Obama a “Chicago chimpanzee” and advised black parents to “teach their children not to attack people if they don’t want to die like Trayvon Martin,” has come out as a Black man. Via Washington Times “As a large, in charge, Motown black man my bad-self, who honed my Sonic Baptizm, soul-cleansing soul music on the greasy rhythm and blues of the musical funk and roll gods James Brown and Chuck Berry et al., and who learned and then perfected the fine art of American defiance from my hero Rosa Parks, I continue to celebrate nonstop all things good and black,” Mr. Nugent, who is white, wrote in an op-ed titled, “We blacks: Democrats’ modern-day slaves,” published by the conservative World Net Daily. “My motto has always been: Black is beautiful. Minimal exposure to my killer Detroit guitar playing would immediately reveal why I was voted the No. 1 Guitarist All Time in Michigan a few years back. No cracker can play like that!” he added. The 67-year-old “Cat Scratch Fever” singer kept with the peculiar theme throughout the entire piece, referring to black men and women as “my black brothers and sisters.” “It’s been over 50 years that the modern slave masters known as the Democratic Party created policies and programs designed to keep black folk down,” Mr. Nugent wrote. “The same scams it has been pulling off for the past 50 years: enticing black folk to look to Uncle Sugar for the cure when it’s been Uncle Sugar who has put black folk on the poverty plantation. “Black lives don’t matter to the Democratic Party. They just want our vote and in turn will continue their ruinous programs that have turned our communities into ghettos, destroyed our families and conned too many of us into a life of poverty,” he continued. “Black power begins with recognizing who our real enemies are and who are friends are,” he wrote. “The Democratic Party is nothing more than a pack of wolves festooned in shiny, white sheepskin. The Democratic Party has conned us into voting for them for decades, and in every instance, our votes for them have been against our own economic self-interest. “Black folk should reject the political con-artists of the Democratic Party in 2016,” he said. “We could then look back someday with pride and say that 2016 was the year we finally looked over the mountaintop and saw the promised land of economic freedom and prosperity. I can hardly get next to myself dreaming of that day. “Happy Black History Month anyway, America. Now let’s stop the Democrat scam and celebrate real freedom with a focus on our black future,” Mr. Nugent concluded. There aren’t enough seats in his world for this man to sit his old, racist, Rachel Dolezal-wannabe azz down.
Cop Coonery: Memphis Police Use Excessive Force On Compliant Suspect Apparently, in Memphis excessive force isn’t technically excessive if you don’t suffer any injuries. Yesterday CNN , released a video story of a young man being hit with a night stick and repeatedly kicked despite his compliance with officers. After speaking with a witness who described the officers behavior as “standard procedure”, Memphis Police Department refused to comment despite viewing the video. The suspect first admitted that he felt “wrongly treated” but will no longer comment. Here’s what the Memphis Police Association President, Mike Williams, had to say: “I don’t think they took it to the point.. to me.. to whereas it was excessive because I don’t think anyone had to go to the hospital or anybody was injured. I think they deployed the asp right because you’re allowed to strike people in the fatty parts of the body.” Well people, accordingly to Mike Williams if you aren’t injured or dead, it isn’t considered excessive. Drop your thoughts in the comments!
… In this world of instant gratification where everything is increasingly getting faster and faster, you can thank Uber for indulging us a bit and beefing up one aspect of its service offerings, UberRUSH. Though UberRUSH has been in existence for a few years as an option for small businesses like tailors and florists to fulfill deliveries, the company has now integrated with a number of commerce apps like Shopify and other retailers and brands like Nordstrom, Rent the Runway, and Cole Haan to offer same-day deliveries to customers. The best part is consumers won’t have to do anything special to tap into this offering — which for now is only available in select cities — just simply place an order online as you normally would and select Uber as the delivery option rather than all that ground shipping snail mail of the past.

Clinton Portis Hundreds Of Thousands In Debt To Casinos, Over A Milli Owed To Women Another day, another broke athlete ! This time it’s Clinton Portis , who played college ball at the University of Miami before being drafted in the second round of the 2002 NFL Draft. He was actually voted the Rookie of the Year and played 9 years in the league with the Denver Broncos and Washington Red*****. According to some estimates he took home around $43.1 million in his career an astounding number compared to the $150 USA Today reports he has in his checking account. Deadspin published the actual list of creditors revealing the debt rings in at $4,857,659.50: The filing lists the creditors holding the 20 largest unsecured claims against Porits. Some of the more notable debts: $500,000 to Entertainment Tonight correspondent and CNN contributor Nischelle Turner $390,000 in back taxes $170,000 to the Borgata casino in Atlantic City $287,178.56 to the MGM Grand A combined $1,223,020 in mortgage deficiencies $500,000 to his mother $412,000 in unpaid domestic support to four different women $65,553 on a repossessed BMW $899.09 in unpaid telephone bills The filings also include Portis’s average monthly income. He receives $3,500 per month in disability payments from the NFL, and $1,000 per month for freelance sideline reporting at NFL games. Meanwhile USA Today lists his monthly income as a slightly higher $7,500 with average monthly expenses of $12,800. $7,500 is nothing to sneeze at but when you have your cars repossessed and four different women looking for domestic support, we can see why bankruptcy might seem like the only way out. Besides, women and cars, DailyMail reveals Portis fell prey to another common NFL money drain — predatory financial advisors: Attorney Curtis Elmore is representing Portis in the foreclosure case on the $1million royal purple house he built for his mother north of Gainesville, Florida. He told The Gainesville Sun that his client had been swindled by those who took advantage of him. ‘Mr. Portis placed his trust in certain people for financial guidance and he’s been betrayed, so it’s not been due to his negligence or ineffective financial planning. It’s just been swindlers and the ripple effects that their actions are causing,’ he said. Portis was also among a group of NFL stars who invested in an Alabama bingo casino that lost the 35 players a combined $40million when it shut down in 2010. As part of his reported $13.29million in assets, Portis included an $8million claim against Pro Sports Financial, which was involved in the casino, as well as a $2million claim against Jade Private Wealth Management. SMH… We still wanna know what was going on with Portis and Nischelle Turner that she gave him half a milli. Let us find out she’s a real life Mary Jane Paul and Portis was playing Cutty Buddy! Then again, she has been a sideline reporter so maybe they’re just football friends… Hit the flip to see the filing docs.
